Analysis: We get Harrington and MoPete and get rid of our unpopular backcourt. Assuming no other moves (not a given), we'd run JO/Al/Granger/MoPete/AJ. Toronto essentially picks up a young prospect for free at a position where they're extremely needy. Atlanta loses Harrington (who they were going to lose anyway) but adds a decent veteran bigman, a bigman prospect, and a much-needed point guard.

Re: A better Pacers / Raptors / Hawks deal

Smith is their hope. He is their Danny Granger. No way they move him. He's a 4. Marvin Williams at the 3 won't be moved. They'd probably move Childress though. I like the deal for us, but we'd need another big guy.

We'd also have the option of re-signing Pollard and Freddy (both of which I'd do if the money was reasonable). We wouldn't be taking on any additional salary with the move, so we could still use our MLE without worrying about the luxury tax. You could throw that money at a big man or at a PG.
